Chapter 112: Boomerang's Despicable Strike
As the capital of humanity, Holy Terra may not be holy at all.
In the 30K era when the state religion had not yet flourished, the attitude of the living emperor towards religion was simply "kill".
Therefore, even if someone really sees "The Words of the Holy Black Light", they will treat it as a joke. There are actually three main reasons for this.
First, the principles of the Black Light Sect are completely a reskinned version of the Imperial Truth, except that it has an additional clause that alien races can believe in, and it also introduces many people-friendly policy templates.
This would not harm the books of the Empire. The masters in the Ministry of Political Affairs were too bored to ban them. Many of the more anthropomorphic planetary governors would keep a copy as an emergency plan. After all, this was a good way to ease riots.
If Hogg saw that the books he wrote were being used for such things, these planetary governors would probably check in to the slave workshop and work themselves to death.
Secondly, the followers of the Black Light Sect made secondary creations to this Holy Scriptures, inserting a large number of jokes and stories into it. So far, 14 editions have been published, which is comparable to the joke collection and meme encyclopedia of the interstellar era.
Moreover, these people in black robes are not so much believers as they are admirers of the world envisioned by Hogg. They believe that as long as they follow Hogg, they can create such a paradise on earth.
The word "creation" shows that the Black Light believers are a group of pragmatists, not like the supplicants in Colchis who can only kowtow. They are very popular with the local government. After all, they are really honest.
The most important thing is that Hogg did not lie. The people in the Alicia sector have gotten rid of the problem of hunger, and have given civilians a channel to rise. As long as you make contributions to the legion, the legion will support you for life.
You know, in the Warhammer world, no boss can make such a promise and fulfill it to any degree.
This made the Black Light believers more and more convinced that the fantasy dream woven by Hogg could come true.
The last and most important point is the emperor’s acquiescence.
This is actually easy to understand. When Hogg founded the Black Light Sect, he reported it to Old Man Huang. Hogg was a soldier in his previous life, and the first thing he learned when he entered the barracks was to report before doing anything.
At that time, Hogg's excuse was to use it to control the elves, and the reason was impeccable. Besides, Hogg did not stop his work on the church while talking about it.
Black Watch participated in the Battle of Randan and became a main force; he recovered four Primarchs and educated them to be more human; the unpopular Oil Man also found a home, thus completing the weakening of the Mechanicus.
If Old Man Huang was not a fool, he would never have banned the development of the Black Light Sect. If he did, it would be like hitting his right hand with his left hand.
But now only Hogg can play with this thing, because only he can ignore the pollution of faith, anyone else will die if he plays with it.
But there are some people who don't understand their own abilities. After seeing the big sales of "The Words of the Dark Light", they think they can do it too. This person's name is Lorgar Aurelion.
On the Word Bearers' flagship, the 'Law of Loyalty', Lorgar was performing his daily prayer dance. Opposite him was a complete set of the Blacklight Sacred Records, which had obviously been flipped through many times judging by the marks on them.
With the dynamic music, he silently chanted the Emperor in his heart, and performed a devilish dance, like a chicken. This inevitably reminded Luojia of the experience of being beaten up.
While praying, Luo Jia suddenly felt nauseous, but he did not give up. He prayed to the Emperor more devoutly. However, he still felt nauseous whenever he thought of Hogg.
Luo Jia believed that this strange phenomenon was caused by the impurity of his own faith, but according to the rituals he learned from the Black Light Sect, there was nothing wrong with them, so he worked even harder.
Finally, after dancing for nearly half an hour, Lorgar could no longer hold it in and began to vomit into the trash can in the corner, vomiting a whole bucket of it. The vomiting sound attracted the attention of the Word Bearers Space Marines, who opened the door and looked at their gene father with concern, wondering what had happened to him.
"I'm fine, you guys go out!"
"Yes, the great gene father."
Seeing his descendants leave, Luo Jia collapsed on the ground. He didn't understand what was wrong with his prayer. Just as he was brainstorming, he saw the pile of "Black Light Sacred Records" opposite him.
"Do I need new teachings to pray to my father? Yes, that must be the reason."
Having figured it out, Luo Jia stood up. He decided to compile a true "Imperial Sacred Records". The Emperor's beliefs should not be based on the doctrines of other sects.
Having found an idea, Luo Jia was no longer troubled. He took out a blank parchment and began to compile.
As a top student who had studied abroad on the Black Light and was familiar with the Black Light doctrine and the native religion of Colchis, Lorgar found creating a new doctrine as easy as eating.
For this, he was grateful to Hogg in his heart. Luo Jia suddenly understood the deep meaning of Hogg's training him. It must be to let him strengthen his faith in the Emperor - the God-Emperor through severe pain.
"Hogg, I misunderstood you. I actually thought you just wanted to beat me up for fun. I didn't expect you to see so far ahead. You are indeed an intelligent Primarch with 'astonishing wisdom'."
"Quack! Hogg, I love you!"
Thinking of this, Luo Jia was moved by his own thoughts and was thinking about praying for his good brother, but the familiar feeling of nausea came over him and interrupted his prayer.
"Ugh! (~﹃~) Forget it, Hogg, you are definitely my best brother, I won't pray for you anymore."
If Hogg saw Luo Jia's current state, he would probably beat him up severely even if Old Man Huang stopped him, and beat him until the shit came out of him, but the damn thing was that Hogg didn't know.
Stimulated by the feeling of nausea, Luojia's words flowed like a spring, ideas popped up in his mind one after another, and soon a piece of parchment was filled with words, which gave Luojia a sense of accomplishment in making history.
But what he didn't notice was that a blue shadow flashed around the Law of Truth sailing in the warp, and Chaos's evil smile lingered in the Crystal Palace for a long time.
As Luojia continued writing, the tide of fate once again moved in the destined direction, and the reef that was supposed to stand in front was bypassed by the tide.
Three days later, a book with its corners wrapped in pure gold was brought by Lorgar to the auditorium of the Law of Truth, and the Word Bearers on the ship were also gathered here.
As Lorgar explained, the seeds of faith were planted in the hearts of every Word Bearer, and the Space Marines, who could already feel the Father of Genes, understood the excitement in Lorgar's heart.
Thousands of printed copies of the doctrine were distributed to everyone. Even the mortal auxiliary troops had a copy, and some veterans with outstanding military achievements would even receive the "Imperial Sacred Records" written by Luojia himself.
The grand auditorium was filled with warriors discussing doctrine, but could they really satisfy God?
